About This Course:

The rapid adoption of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs in the workplace creates a number of legal risks for employers. One of the most significant legal threats is the increased potential for employee mishandling or theft of a company’s proprietary and confidential data and trade secrets.

Employers and in-house counsel must develop and implement well-crafted BYOD policies and procedures that minimize the risks associated with employees storing corporate data on personal devices. These policies must be routinely updated to keep pace with rapidly changing technological advances.

Listen as our authoritative panel of employment attorneys discusses the latest trends in BYOD - including strategies employers should undertake to ensure their BYOD policies and practices effectively protect proprietary and confidential business information.

The panel will address safeguards for employers to ensure employees handle such information with care and prevent theft of information amid constantly evolving technological advances, including:
